Middle Tennessee State running back Jordan Parker is not a rookie anymore, but his nickname still hints to his breakout freshman season.

"We call him Pup because he just stepped in last year and did his thing as a freshman," offensive guard Josh Walker said. "He was just a pup. He's a quiet kid, but he's not quiet on the field. He can play."
